I don’t even know where one is. This means the selection will be slender and almost certainly crap. Nic, I know you’ve been wanting to read that old Len Deighton thriller. Pa, you’ll look good in a second-hand nylon dress and Ma, you’ll finally get the plastic colander you’ve always wanted.

Made a donation – not much, but here’s hoping that your work, Martin, will turn lots of people’s “not muches” into “quite a lot”. x

thank you Nicky you are a star!!! That money WILL help, you have made a real difference. I know you hear that crap said on charity sites all the time but I’ve seen this misery and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Well done you!

Donated £100 I thought it might go far over there?

I also like your Xmas card design. I think you could sell it. I’d buy it! x

Hey pen, thanks soooooooo much for your kind donation!!! THat’s incredible of you and thank you so much for reading all this. Yes, I know you have a big heart for animals. Actuallyt he dogs that were put down were given two injections – one to make it sedated and the other into the heart. So sad. Thanks for being in touch and hope to see you soon! I’m making a calendar for the Ark and will have to try and sell some out here x
